Prime Time With Ravish Kumar: क्या किसान आंदोलन पश्चिमी Uttar Pradesh में दंगों के दाग मिटा पाएगा? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K40KIwaGZV8
Sep 6, 2021 : राकेश टिकैत (Rakesh Tikait) ने कहा कि पहले के किसान आंदोलन (Farmers' Protest) में एकता के लिए अल्लाहू अकबर और हर-हर महादेव का नारा लगता था. इस दौर में इसे दोहराना साहसिक है. धार्मिक नारों को राजनीतिक मुद्दों की लड़ाई से जितनी जल्दी विदा कर दिया जाए उतना ही अच्छा. हर दूसरा किसान नेता दंगों के खिलाफ भाषण दे रहा था.

Why Farmers Fear Private Players? Adani Offering ₹15 To HP Apple Growers Has The Answer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqnWdpm693k Aug 28, 2021
" the fear of the farmers doesn't seem unfounded. What happened in Himachal Pradesh is a case study in it. The apple growing season is going on, the apple growers hoped that this year they may get a good price for their crops. But the prices announced by the Adani group have shocked them. Go to market today, and just figured out at what prices apples are being sold. The best quality apples are being sold in Mumbai markets for almost 200-300 rs a KG. The lowest rate is anywhere between 50-75 Rs/ Kg. And do you know what is the price Adani group is offering Himachal apple growers? Minimum 12 Rs and Maximum 72 rupees. Yes, you heard it right. Last time I bought my groceries, 12 Rupees got me just a packate of noodles! not even onions or potatoes. And the Adani group wants to buy these apples at 12 rupees/KG.

Earlier this month, the Adani group filed a petition in the Punjab high court saying it will be shutting down operations at the Kila Raipur multi-modal logistics park after having incurred huge losses due to the dharna. The protestors feel this is a victory.
